Drilling

In the fi eld, drilling is where it all begins. This is the true start of the hydrocarbon chain, and performance has to be there from the time the bit starts spinning. With comprehensive knowledge and proven technologies for the drilling process and beyond, Alfa Laval ensures it.

Knowledge that brings securityThe effi ciency of drilling operations is crucial to profi tability. As projects bore deeper on land and move farther out to sea, the risk of downtime increases – along with the consequences and costs. These days, there’s simply no room for mistakes.

Staying ahead means looking for a performance partner instead of a supplier, especially when it comes to mixing and maintaining the all-important drilling fl uids. Alfa Laval understands not only drilling equipment, but also drilling reality, and works to keep drilling operations problem-free.

Support both deep and wideAlfa Laval core technologies are perfectly suited to drilling fl uids and the drilling process, but also to utilities and waste management. As environmental regulations tighten, for example, we offer the most trusted solutions for securing compliance and reducing cost in diffi cult offshore conditions.

Like our portfolio, our commitment is extensive. Through close cooperation, open dialogue and in-depth services like Alfa Laval Rig Surveys, we keep applications and equipment in step as needs and technologies develop.

Utility coolingAlfa Laval has a long history of mediating the exchange between heat and cold. In drilling, our experience is put to use in gasketed plate heat exchangers and air heat exchangers for a range of utility functions.

Already today, our heat transfer solutions are compact and energy effi cient. Yet we continue to push limits, introducing new plate patterns and other innovations that further optimize heat transfer and minimize fouling. The resulting solutions are as easy to maintain as they are cost effective.

D R I L L I N G

Drilling fl uids managementThe drilling process represents up to 80 % of a well’s total cost – and much of that is related to mud. Alfa Laval knowledge and solutions keep mud-related costs to a minimum, while at the same time securing the density, viscosity, chemistry and cleanliness so critical to safe and effi cient drilling.

Mixing and dust recoveryFlexibly confi gured to meet the needs of specifi c drilling applications, Alfa Laval Vortex solutions ensure fully optimized mud mixing. During the mixing process, dust can be captured and rechanneled into the mixing system, thereby ensuring a dust-free environment.

Tank cleaning and agitationFor the mud tanks, Alfa Laval has effective Gunclean Toftejorg tank cleaning solutions that remove stubborn barite build-up. To ensure homogenous mud with uniform properties, we also have effective shearing options with side-, bottom- or top-mounted agitators.

Mud coolingEffi cient Alfa Laval PUMA mud coolers reduce potential health, safety and environmental risk factors and complications during the drilling process. Built on decades of application experience, these dedicated modular heat exchangers reduce thermal stresses and provide better temperature control for mud processing and downhole tool accuracy, especially when drilling at high temperatures and pressures.

Waste and solids controlWhen the mud returns from the well, our pioneering separation expertise is applied in Alfa Laval LYNX decanter centrifuges. Effectively removing cuttings and other solids, these advanced yet reliable solutions keep drilling fl uids in prime condition while minimizing costly mud losses and waste.

PROCESS cont.

Sea water liftSea water lift is common in offshore applications. It may be used continuously to supply cooling water, but also intermittently, for example during ballasting. Installing caissons and using Framo pumps for the purpose eliminates fl ooding risk while reducing CAPEX and OPEX.

The pumps employ a cable-free concept that eliminates cable handling and submerged cable penetrations. Designed with overpressure protection of the motor and all electrical and rotating parts, they provide safe and reliable operation in hazardous areas. All Framo sea water lift systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Fire water pumpingPumped water is the fi rst line of defence in preventing fi re-related catastrophe. Framo fi re water pumps have been used in offshore applications since the 1970s, becoming the fi refi ghting system of choice for their responsiveness and reliability.

Framo fi re water pumps are powered by a diesel generator and are available in hydraulic and electric versions, selected mainly on the basis of the volume of water to be discharged. All Framo fi re water pumping systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Fresh water generationAlfa Laval fresh water generators let offshore rigs and vessels make economical use of abundant seawater. We pioneered the compact production of fresh water through vacuum distillation, doing away with bunkered water for crew and technical needs.

Introduced over 50 years ago, our thermally driven technology has since developed into a range of compact, energy-effi cient systems. Based on the engine and the heat it produces, we can confi gure an effi cient solution from our Alfa Laval ORCA, AQUA or DOLPHIN series.

Fuel and lube oil cleaningAlfa Laval helps get top value from all types of oils. Whether maximizing the fuel extracted from residual oils or extending the lifetime of circulated lubricants, our solutions bring long-term economy while protecting the engine or gas turbine and other sensitive equipment.

Our centrifugal separation technology has long set the standard for separation performance. No less pioneering today, our separators have become more modular and less complex, while the effi ciency and protection they provide have only increased.

Deck drain treatmentDeck drain water contains many different oils and a very diverse range of chemicals and solids. In particular, water from the tank wash drain and drill fl oor drain has a high solids concentration and very strong emulsions that complicate separation.

Here Alfa Laval’s long experience with complex waste streams makes a difference. The Alfa Laval Phoenix system combines mechanical and chemical separation technologies to meet strict discharge standards while leaving as little as possible for disposal onshore.

D R I L L I N G

Ballast water treatmentAs maritime legislation takes effect, vessels and rigs must comply with ballast water treatment regulations. Choosing the right system is key, as its limitations may also limit business – by restricting deployment and resale potential.

Only Alfa Laval PureBallast 3.1 offers all the possibilities. Energy effi cient and suitable for newbuilds or retrofi ts, it performs in all waters: fresh, brackish and marine. It is also the ideal biological disinfection system for challenging conditions, such as frigid or low-clarity water.

Oily water treatmentOil-contaminated water is unavoidable on offshore rigs and vessels. Within it are hydrocarbon residues and particles from coarse to fi ne, but also other components, such as chemicals contributing to stable emulsions.

Alfa Laval’s centrifugal separation technology removes these impurities continuously, even in the roughest of seas. Employing many times the force of gravity, it breaks emulsions and minimizes chemical dosing. Alfa Laval PureBilge secures discharge compliance with little waste for onshore disposal.

Oil production

There are more pressures in oil production than those beneath the surface. Despite oil’s value and importance, fi nding economy and reliability in processing can be more diffi cult than fi nding the crude. Alfa Laval offers expertise and capabilities that simplify the equation.

Solutions that tip the balanceThe needs of oil production plants vary as widely as the plants themselves, which can be found increas-ingly far afi eld. Today’s production involves challenging conditions like those in oil sands or deep seas, plus a growing range of processes, such as advanced oil recovery techniques.

As a result, the margins of profi tability are often tighter. Alfa Laval expertise and equipment can make the difference, creating viable options that stay cost-effec-tive as conditions change. Our separation solutions, thermal solutions and other offerings enable processes and keep them problem-free.

Securing the perfect matchOver years of working with oil production, we’ve become adept at delivering performance within footprint and integration constraints. Important at all times, these are critical in upgrade and conversion projects, for example from vessel to FPSO.

Whether our solutions are to be used offshore or on land, we tailor them fully to the process and the conditions, ensuring easy implementation and lasting availability. Our own availability – for consultation, support and service – is a constant from start to fi nish.

Solutions for oil production

PROCESS

Separation and stabilizationAt the oil production facility, solids and water must be removed from the crude oil to bring it to pipeline quality. When separation is performed with a conventional solution, Alfa Laval can use plate heat exchangers and other types of heat exchangers to optimize the use of heat and space while minimizing maintenance requirements.

By choosing a degasser and an Alfa Laval OFX disc-stack centrifuge system instead, a simpler process can be achieved. This solution saves space and provides con-stant separation performance without the excessive use of heat and chemicals.

Process heating and coolingOptimal separation of the crude oil requires effective heating beforehand. Afterwards, the separated oil must be cooled down to prevent equipment corrosion and to minimize the production of hazardous gases.

Alfa Laval gasketed plate heat exchangers offer a compact and robust solution for both processes – resistant to gas, sand and other impurities in the crude. Drawing on many decades of application experience, we confi gure the heating and cooling circuits to make the most effective reuse of process heat.

Gas compressionCompressing gas to the pipeline or injection pressure is a demanding process. At each step, Alfa Laval’s portfolio enables robust, cost-effective solutions based on the pressures, cooling medium and main-tenance needs.

On land, optimized solutions usually involve our air-cooled heat exchangers Alfa Laval ACE, Olmi and Niagara. Offshore applications may involve the Alfa Laval printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) or Alfa Laval Olmi shell-and-tube heat exchanger, but also our extremely robust welded plate-and-shell heat exchangers Alfa Laval DuroCore and DuroShell. Our gasketed plate heat exchangers may also be used.

Water injectionInjecting water maintains reservoir pressure and boosts oil production – but is not without challenges. The pumping system must be fl exible enough for changing reservoir conditions, plus robust enough to avoid erosion and scaling when using produced water.

Framo water injection pumps increase fl exibility and serviceability through a design where individual impel-lers can be fi tted without rebalancing the rotating assembly. Tungsten carbide wear surfaces, combined with double mechanical seals and barrier fl uid, ensure reliability even when injecting produced water.

PROCESS cont.

Closed-loop coolingEspecially in an offshore process, cooling and production capacity are tightly linked. Closed-loop systems must be properly designed to maximize cooling and prevent maintenance issues.

With decades of cooling experience, Alfa Laval has the knowledge and equipment to secure effective cooling. Alfa Laval gasketed plate heat exchangers, complemented by our reliable fi lters, optimize heat transfer and minimize fouling. On land, our Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers are a cost-effective opportunity to reduce water and chemical footprint.


The pumps employ a cable-free concept that eliminates cable handling and submerged cable penetrations. Designed with overpres-sure protection of the motor and all electrical and rotating parts, they provide safe and reliable operation in hazardous areas. All Framo sea water lift systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.


Chemicals handlingAs offshore development projects move to deeper and more remote areas, the hull tanks of FPSOs are increas-ingly used to store chemicals for process and fl ow as-surance. Framo submerged cargo pumps are an ideal solution for lifting these chemicals to topside process.

Besides handling any chemical, the pumps can handle any variation of specifi c weight or viscosity. The chemical pumping system can be combined with a Framo offl oading system, or installed with its own separate hydraulic power system. All Framo cargo pumping systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Cargo handlingWhether moving crude for separation and stabilization or pumping oil from a cavern reserve, robust and effective pumping is needed. Framo cargo pumps are the industry standard at sea, while Framo cable-free electric submersible pumps are among the few with the capacity and reliability for cavern applications. All Framo cargo pumping systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Crude Oil Washing (C.O.W)Regular use of Alfa Laval Gunclean Toftejorg high impact crude oil washing tank cleaning machines is strongly recommended to clean areas around the cargo pumps and to avoid corrosion caused by sediments in storage tanks. Due to a huge variety of options these machines can be customized to meet any built-in requirement for offshore installations and meet all rules and regulations for C.O.W.

Steam and heat generationLarge quantities of steam, hot water or hot oil are required by many production processes. Alfa Laval has both decades of thermal expertise and a proven track record in supplying innovative boiler and combustion systems.

Our high-effi ciency Alfa Laval Aalborg systems – available with multi-fuel combustion technology – can be supplied as tailored modules for any requirement. Fully integrated and ready to install, they ensure safe, trouble-free operation with low environmental impact and low cost of ownership.

Waste heat recoveryToday’s diesel engines and gas turbine engines are far more effi cient than their predecessors. Yet a vast amount of fuel energy is still released as heat. By using heat energy from various sources to produce steam and hot water, Alfa Laval Aalborg waste heat recovery systems improve plant effi ciency overall.

Proven effective, our waste heat recovery systems deliver documented fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions. Compact and fl exible, they can be installed and maintained easily – even within an existing plant.

Inert gas productionCombustible gas mixtures are a primary concern, especially during offl oading. Alfa Laval has the know-ledge and tools to ensure a stable tank environment, both in safe and in hazardous areas.

Modular Alfa Laval Smit systems, which produce inert gas through a number of methods, are the leading solutions for degrading tank oxygen levels. Most are based on the unique Ultramizing® principle, which atomizes the fuel oil for soot-free gas, even at partial loads.

Fire water pumpingPumped water is the fi rst line of defence in preventing fi re-related catastrophe. Framo fi re water pumps have been used in offshore applications since the 1970s, becoming the fi refi ghting system of choice for their responsiveness and reliability.


Power generationWhether offshore or on land, the loss of power to production processes means loss of income. Framo containerized or skid-mounted diesel generator sys-tems provide valuable security, ensuring that essential or emergency electrical power is available at all times.

Framo generator systems are designed for fail-safe start up, even during a cold-start sequence. Arranged as self-contained units that include all necessary auxiliary systems, they allow continuous operation for a specifi ed time at rated power. All Framo power generator systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Ballast water pumpingA smartly designed ballast system provides greater safety while freeing up more space for cargo. This is why Framo submerged ballast pumps are the stand-ard solution on modern tankers.

The pumps are installed inside the ballast tanks. In combination with a submerged Framo cargo pump in each cargo tank, this arrangement makes the pump room superfl uous and installation easy. The air ejector connected to the pumps’ suction side starts and stops automati-cally, which makes the ballast pumps self-priming.

Produced water treatmentBefore produced water can be injected back into a reservoir, reused in production or discharged into the environment, it must be cleaned to strict oil ppm levels. Alfa Laval designs effective solutions to manage this process under specifi c operating conditions.

Comprising both heat exchangers and separation systems, our solutions ensure results while minimizing process maintenance. At their heart are Alfa Laval OF and OFX disc-stack separators employing centrifugal separation, the most reliable means of overcoming diffi cult separation challenges.

Oily water treatmentOil-contaminated slop and bilge water is unavoidable on offshore rigs and vessels. Within it are hydrocarbon residues and particles from coarse to fi ne, but also other components, such as chemicals contributing to stable emulsions.

Alfa Laval’s centrifugal separation technology removes these impurities continuously, even in the most de-manding situations. Employing many times the force of gravity, it breaks emulsions and minimizes chemical dosing. As a result, Alfa Laval OF and PureBilge separators secure discharge compliance with little waste for onshore disposal.

Slop oil treatmentSlop oil varies greatly in composition, which makes it complicated to split into clean oil and water. Alfa Laval can provide a well-designed process that reaches ppm targets for both streams – without accumulating unnecessary waste.

Three-phase Alfa Laval LYNX decanter centrifuges have a central role, with their effective solids removal and ability to deliver exceptionally clear liquids. Sup-porting them are our welded spiral heat exchangers and Alfa Laval OF disc-stack centrifuges, as well as Framo slop pumps to move slop oil from the tank.

Gas production

Clean-burning gas is proving its worth as a fuel of the future. That puts gas production in focus today, as capacity and technologies are geared towards tomorrow’s supply. Alfa Laval is at the forefront, providing solutions that make even the boldest developments secure.

Answers in the widest scopeEach gas production plant has unique challenges, deriving from its location and from the properties of the gas to be processed. Alfa Laval is uniquely prepared to help meet them, with decades of global experience and an often game-changing breadth of solutions.

In applications such as gas compression, fractionation and treatment, it’s the mix that determines our strength. With many strong technologies to draw from, we can develop the solution most effective for the process – and the one most cost effective as well.

The experience to go furtherOur abilities and fl exibility become even more relevant as gas projects grow more ambitious. FLNG plants, for example, will take the full brunt of deep-sea conditions while handling the entire processing scope in a fraction of the traditional space.

Alfa Laval’s dependable systems, deep experience and demonstrated engineering know-how are instrumental in this context. In a setting where so much is at stake, it becomes all the more important to have a partner who is proven.

PROCESS

Gas wellhead compressionAt the wellhead, compression skids are often used to bring natural gas to the required pipeline pressure. Portable and unmanned, the skids call for robust, pur-pose-built equipment that secures high performance within a small footprint.

Alfa Laval ACE air-cooled heat exchangers are versa-tile and compact cooling solutions, developed with harsh applications like wellhead compression in mind. With a fi nned-tube technology that withstands high temperatures and pressures, they can be fl exibly confi gured and engineered for a truly customized approach.

Gas compressionCompressing gas is demanding, and Alfa Laval is the only vendor with a full portfolio of compression technologies. These allow robust, cost-effective solutions adapted to the pressures, cooling medium and maintenance needs.

On land, optimized solutions usually involve our air-cooled heat exchangers Alfa Laval ACE, Olmi and Niagara. Offshore applications may involve the Alfa Laval printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) or Alfa Laval Olmi shell-and-tube heat exchanger, but also our extremely robust welded plate-and-shell heat exchangers Alfa Laval DuroCore and DuroShell. For the fi rst step in the compression train, many customers use our semi-welded plate heat exchangers.

Gas pipeline compressionLocated at regular distances, the unmanned compression stations that secure pressure in a gas pipeline must operate reliably with minimal main-tenance. Alfa Laval provides durable solutions that ensure this lasting performance.

Dependable cooling is provided by our Alfa Laval ACE, Niagara and Olmi air-cooled heat exchangers, as well as by our extremely robust welded plate-and-shell heat exchanger Alfa Laval DuroShell. With our maintenance-free fi lter, we can remove free liquids or particles before the gas enters the compressors.

Separation and stabilizationAs well stream components are isolated, detrimental contaminants must be removed from the condensate before reaching downstream equipment. Along the way are opportunities to recover energy and to design an overall process with minimal footprint and fouling.

Alfa Laval offers a range of high-effi ciency gasketed plate heat exchangers for this process, and more as well. Alfa Laval OF disc-stack separators can be used to separate by means of centrifugal force, ensuring the removal of water and all contaminants.

Gas treatmentGas sweetening is often a challenge, especially under sour and lethal service conditions. Alfa Laval contributes to the engineering of robust, maintainable AGRUs and SRUs with an optimal cost of ownership.

Our thermal solutions for gas treatment duties range from air-cooled heat exchangers and wet surface air coolers to plate-based heat exchangers in gasketed, semi-welded, welded and fusion-bonded designs. Chief among them is Alfa Laval Compabloc, which has become the industry standard for gas sweetening duties.

NGL fractionationDistilling NGL into pure components with high value greatly increases potential revenues. The fractionation process itself, however, can be diffi cult to build and operate in an economical manner.

Alfa Laval provides a comprehensive range of thermal solutions for cost-effective fractionation, including gasketed plate heat exchangers and welded heat exchangers in both openable and non-openable confi gurations. For fractionation on land, air-cooled solutions like our Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers offer exceptional effi ciency and operating fl exibility.

MEG regenerationRemoving the water and contaminants absorbed by MEG in subsea pipes can be diffi cult to do in a compact manner, especially when uptime is in focus. Alfa Laval provides space-saving vaporization and separation capabilities that ensure reliability under varied conditions.

Relevant thermal solutions include Alfa Laval Compabloc, but especially our welded spiral heat exchangers, whose inherent self-cleaning properties secure uptime in fouling liquid duties. Alfa Laval OF centrifugal separators complete the chain, ensuring thorough solids removal for high-purity MEG.

Regasifi cationAfter dramatic cooling for sea transport, LNG requires controlled heating at the receiving end to vaporize it for pipeline distribution. Alfa Laval provides a wide range of gasketed plate heat exchangers to support this process, but more advanced technology as well.

Regasifi cation often occurs offshore, creating extreme demands for compactness and durability. In these cases the Alfa Laval printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is superior, offering a footprint far smaller than that of shell-and-tube constructions.

Closed-loop coolingCooling and production capacity are tightly linked. Closed-loop systems must be properly designed to maximize cooling and prevent maintenance issues, which is why Alfa Laval’s decades of cooling experience make a difference.

Alfa Laval gasketed plate heat exchangers, comple-mented by our reliable fi lters, optimize heat transfer and minimize fouling. On land, Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers are a cost-effective alternative to cooling towers that can provide an opportunity to boost plant cooling capacity.

Closed-loop cooling system (integrated)In FLNG applications, where cooling is especially critical, an integrated closed cooling water system is ideal. It combines closed-loop cooling with an open cooling loop, allowing both parts to be optimized and streamlined.

The system replaces traditional topside pump modules with compact Framo sea water lift pumps, which reduces both footprint and weight. In the open seawater loop, the cooling performance is fully optimized to minimize the equipment required. The total result is lower CAPEX, along with reduced space needs and power consumption.


Chemicals handlingAs offshore development projects move to deeper and more remote areas, hull tanks are increasingly used to store chemicals for process and fl ow assur-ance. Framo submerged cargo pumps are an ideal solution for lifting these chemicals to topside process.

Besides handling any chemical, the pumps can handle any variation of specifi c weight or viscosity. The chemical pumping system can be combined with a Framo offl oading system, or installed with its own separate hydraulic power system. All Framo cargo pumping systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Tank cleaningRegular use of Alfa Laval Gunclean Toftejorg high impact tank cleaning machines are recommended to clean areas around the pumps and to avoid corrosion caused by sediments in storage tanks for slop and condensate. Alfa Laval Gunclean Toftejorg tank cleaning machines are developed to meet the toughest tank cleaning require-ments with a minimum consumption of cleaning media.

The pumps employ a cable-free concept that elimi-nates cable handling and submerged cable penetra-tions. Designed with overpressure protection of the motor and all electrical and rotating parts, they pro-vide safe and reliable operation in hazardous areas. All Framo sea water lift systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Condensate handlingAfter treatment, the heavy hydrocarbons condensed from the gas are a valuable commodity for trade. Framo cargo pumps, with their ability to handle even the most viscous materials, are an excel-lent solution for managing condensate storage and offl oading condensates for onward sale.

The submerged cargo pumps, which are hydraulically driven, save topside space and weight. The offl oading system can be combined with a Framo chemical pumping system, or installed with its own separate hydraulic power sys-tem. All Framo cargo pumping systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Steam and heat generationLarge quantities of steam, hot water or hot oil are required by many production processes. Alfa Laval has both decades of thermal expertise and a proven track record in supplying innovative boiler and combustion systems.

Our high-effi ciency Alfa Laval Aalborg systems – available with multi-fuel combustion technology – can be supplied as tailored modules for any requirement. Fully integrated and ready to install, they ensure safe, trouble-free operation with low environmental impact and low cost of ownership.

Waste heat recoveryToday’s diesel engines and gas turbine engines are far more effi cient than their predecessors. Yet a vast amount of fuel energy is still released as heat. By using heat energy from various sources to produce steam and hot water, Alfa Laval Aalborg waste heat recovery systems improve plant effi ciency overall.

Proven effective, our waste heat recovery systems deliver documented fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions. Compact and fl exible, they can be installed and maintained easily – even within an existing plant.

Fresh water generationAlfa Laval fresh water generators let offshore facilities make economical use of abundant seawater. We pioneered the compact production of fresh water through vacuum distillation, doing away with bunkered water for crew and technical needs.

Introduced over 50 years ago, our thermally driven technology has since developed into a range of compact, energy-effi cient systems. Using waste heat or electricity, we can confi gure an effi cient solution from our Alfa Laval ORCA, AQUA, DOLPHIN or MEP series.

Fire water pumpingPumped water is the fi rst line of defence in preventing fi re-related catastrophes. Framo fi re water pumps have been used in offshore applications since the 1970s, becoming the fi refi ghting system of choice for their responsiveness and reliability.


Power generationWhether offshore or on land, the loss of power to production processes means loss of income. Framo containerized or skid-mounted diesel generator systems provide valuable security, ensuring that essential or emergency electrical power is available at all times.

Framo generator systems are designed for fail-safe start up, even during a cold-start sequence. Arranged as self-contained units that include all necessary auxiliary systems, they allow continuous operation for a specifi ed time at rated power. All Framo power generator systems are full scale tested prior to delivery to ensure easy installation during commissioning.

Fuel and lube oil cleaningAlfa Laval helps get top value from all types of oils. Whether maximizing the fuel extracted from residual oils or extending the lifetime of circulated lubricants, our solutions bring long-term economy while pro-tecting the engine or gas turbine and other sensitive equipment.


Inert gas productionCombustible gas mixtures are a primary concern, especially during offl oading. Alfa Laval has the knowledge and tools to ensure a stable tank environment, both in safe and in hazardous areas.

Modular Alfa Laval Smit systems, which produce inert gas through a number of methods, are the leading solutions for degrading tank oxygen levels. Most are based on the unique Ultramizing® principle, which atomizes the fuel oil for soot-free gas, even at partial loads.

Ballast water pumpingA smartly designed ballast system provides greater safety while freeing up more space for cargo. This is why Framo submerged ballast pumps are the stand-ard solution on modern tankers.

The pumps are installed inside the ballast tanks. In combination with a submerged Framo cargo pump in each cargo tank, this arrangement makes the pump room superfl uous and installation easy. The air ejector connected to the pumps’ suction side starts and stops automatically, which makes the ballast pumps self-priming.


Oily waste treatmentOily waste varies greatly in composition, which makes it complicated to split into clean oil and water. Alfa Laval can provide a well-designed process that reaches ppm targets for both streams – without accumulating unnecessary waste.

Three-phase Alfa Laval LYNX decanter centrifuges have a central role, with their effective solids removal and ability to deliver exceptionally clear liquids.
